BM tank tops

so one of my bridesmaids has dropped many hints on how she wants them, but i am not so sure i want to spend like $25 on a t-shirt for a one time thing...

    You could make iron ons or buy them from Michaels and put them on tanks yourself.  I made sweatshirts for my girls and it was super easy.  It would still be probably like $10-$12 but better than $25.

    I got the same iron on ones that Cher used. They are like $5.99 a piece for the rhinestone ones. I plan on buying an inexpensive tank top from old navy or something and just DIY. Will be a lot less than $25.http://belladesignsstl.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5

    Ummm yeah she can go buy one if she wants it that badly.  I understand wanting it but hinting for it is a bit tacky.Or suggest that she get it for your b-party and all of them could wear it.

    I wouldn't bother unless you are bored and feel like adding a DIY project to your to do list.

    I dont know what we are doing for my b-party, but its in 2 weeks, and my friend said we have to dress pretty nice, so i doubt a tank top is going to cut it.... maybe I will do the DIY, even though i dont feel like it :)

    Look on the Trash To Treasure board, sometimes people sell them there. Or even in thrift stores (clean, of course). I've seen them there before.

    Is this something that you want?  I'm kind of guessing it isn't or else you would have done it already?If you get her one, you'll probably have to get everyone one, and then you're getting into a situation where you're all either going out at your bachelorette or getting ready for your wedding in "Bride" and Bridesmaid" tees.  If that isn't your thing, or if you think your other girls wouldn't be thrilled to have to wear theme attire, I wouldn't do it.

    I bought the tanks at Old Navy when they were 2 for $9 or something like that, but even still you can get the tanks for less than $10 - Michael's has bridesmaid iron-ons for $1...they're always that price and they're in the wedding section. I had to buy the Maid of Honor iron-on from Etsy because Michael's didn't have it, even then it was $5.99 -- so for 4 BM's and 1 flowergirl it cost me a little less than $35 and the girls loved 'em

    they had some (premade tanks) at michaels...forgot how much they were (i think the fg and rb shirts were $14.99), (i have a coupon for 25% off your entire purchase this saturday....if you're interested)the iron ons they have i think are $1 each (i got one that says i do, and one that says property of the groom, not sure what i'm going to use them on...) i think they have the same $1/ea ones at ac moore....i was going to do them, but, it seemed silly since they'll only be able to wear them for a day, and i think only my sister is getting ready with me...the others will probably come to my house all ready dressed....

    My one concern with wearing a tank the day of.  Once I was ready I knew I would mess up my hair taking off that dang shirt, unless I cut it.

    Thats why I did hoodies.  They were $9 at walmart.  Plus then the cost of the iron on.

    i made mine for less than 10/bm. bought the tanks at target and the rhinestone decals from ac moore. it was super easy and cheap.
